Compassion, creativity, and tipsy elephants—🐘💡 who knew they'd be the stars of our AI future? Dive into my TEDx talk to see how AI is not just a tool, but a transformation in our relationship with the world. #AITransforms #CreativityForGood youtube.com/watch?v=EHJv7l…

Whoever wins AI wins. The President is right. But winning has to show up in a paycheck, a small business that can compete, and a doctor with better tools. If AI makes a few companies rich and millions of families less secure, America hasn't won.

Insight #4: An insight from down under: Cam Wilson at the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) reports that Australia chose a different model for AI regulation, asking agencies to police their own use, and that many missed the first required transparency test. That is the contrast with the Anthropic story: one system is too weak to make agencies explain how they use AI, while another can move fast enough to shut access down overnight.

Insight #2: Maxwell Zerg at @WIRED reports that the order covered “any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.” The phrase about employees illustrates how wide-ranging this directive is - US companies are built on global talent - locking out foreign national employees hamstrings American innovation.

Insight #1: @AlexisRen Alex and @m_ccuri at @axios broke the story blocking “foreign governments, companies and individuals” from accessing Anthropic’s most advanced models, leading Anthropic to cut off all customer access. Not hostile actors, not military labs, but governments, companies, and individuals. Maria - we touched on the idea that this might happen in our keynote together at NACD!
